GIOVANBATTISTA TUSA

Designing a new planet. Post-Global Aesthetics

Globalization has been the fundamental invention of modernity. A spatial and temporal project, but above all a project of representation, an aesthetic project.
The seminar aims to explore the speculative possibilities of planetary, astral perspectives in the contemporary arts scene in the age of the Anthropocene. We will also investigate the emergence of new forms of agency and production capable of transforming reality and creating radical changes in the way we perceive it. They are already part of our sensory and artistic world, and therefore all discourse that aims to account for the age in which we live can no longer exclude these in-human forces with whom we coexist, and who along with us shape the experience of our time.
